If Only || Choi Soobin [DISCONTINUED]

I nodded, understanding him.

"But what if, it came to you at the right place and the right time?" He chuckled and glanced at me.

"Is the answer not that obvious to you?" I shook my head and asked again, but more specifically.

"No, I get it but like, what if it came at the right place and right time, but you are confused?" He looked at me and I continued, "Like you are confused if you like her or if she likes you? Like you said 'Love comes unexpectedly' so if love hit me at the right time and right place, how would it hit the other? What if he didn't feel anything? What if it hit me in the right time? But also a wrong time for him?" This time he nodded.

"You're right, but if it hits the guy at the wrong time and he does love you, he'd do anything to get you back." He stated while pointing his index finger at me.

"So like it happens to me at the right time and right place but, it happens at the wrong time and right place to him, how would that work?" I couldn't stop the burning curiosity in me.

"That's what we call love honey." He laughed and pushed the cart, I trailed slowly behind him, "I know what it is but-" I got cut off by him stopping and turning to look at me with a serious expression.

"Love is all about working things out, no matter what. You guys need to understand each other about things like that. You need to find the difference in the word like and love. They never have the same meaning. You can't work things out if the other person wouldn't want it to work out." His words struck me like lightning.

"That's why almost half of the people in this world get hurt because of what they thought. They think they 'love' that girl or boy when it's actually just a 'crush' or a 1 week liking thing. So if you are going to like someone, always know which category you are in for him. See if he likes you or love you, because a true man wouldn't hurt a girl." He genuinely smiled at me and turned to push the cart.

"You staying?" I shook my head as if he could see me and jogged beside him and picked out somethings.

Soobin's POV:

Who could they be talking about? I thought to myself as I heard 15% of Yeonjun and Y/n's conversation.

They were talking about the half of the people? Who were those? I shrugged as I grabbed the marshmallows off its place and went to find Taehyung hyung.

"What took you long?" I shook my head and smiled, "Nothing, just choosing the right one." I said while pointing at the pack of marshmallows.

"Say hyung, what if I like someone but, I just am not sure of how she feels?" He looked at me and laughed.

"She probably likes you, believe me." He patted my back and I shook my head.

"Hyung, I'm serious. What if I like someone and I can't tell whether she likes me or not?" This time he looked at me and held my shoulder.

"Then take the risk. Confess. Period." I tilted my head, "But hyung what if-" I got but off my him.

"What if she rejected you? Hm, lemme see. That's what it actually is about, you need to take the risk to know how she actually feels because, what if she likes you but, she just couldn't tell you anything because she is scared that the friendship you guys have will go to a waste? What if you like her but, you are also scared that the friendship will disappear into thin air? It's all about the risk Soobin, you have to make a move before you come up with a conclusion. I can't say that 'I like her but, she doesn't like me.' Because I don't know how she feels yet. If she doesn't feel the same way, then maybe she just isn't the right person for you but, I think you already won without even trying to win her over." He smiled and pat my shoulder.
